taking off the govner???

[TheBourneAltimatum]

I think it would need to be tuned out, haven't hit the govner yet in the altima but did in my last ride

wow, nice! but i'm not a fan of goats though

[08altima35]

all the opinions about speeding. some people, one being myself needs the rush of a high speed every great once in a while. for instance, driving on a curvy/hilly road doing speeds in excess of 100mph is just asking for trouble. racing on a two lane (one in each direction) road is just stupid regardless of the visibillity. there are times when speeding is okay and you don't really have to go to the track in my opiniona friend and i drove to houston from dallas (i-45)(two separate cars)on monday morning and there really wasn't any traffic on the road. we both had walki's with a 2 mile range as to make the situation even safer and less chance of getting a ticket. When we would have a large gap in traffic i or he would speed up ahead about 15 mph over the speed limit until one was about 1/2 mile ahead of the other and then i or he would radio in saying the coast is clear of traffic and police. fastest i got going was about 142 but didn't get restricted by the governor. my 3.5 just became very light and kinda wanted to float around and i thought 150 would prolly be pushing it. i understand some of you feel 100+ is just a stupid thing to be doing in every aspect, but in the right situation with the right precautions it can be safe and if something happens the harm will only be done to yourself. that's just my take

162 and cruise control?

162 and cruise control?

Of course, how do ya think he got the picture?

[08Coupe]

162 and cruise control?

lol it was a roadtrip, cruise was set ~80mph, punched it for a minute (display still stays on) btw auto transmission, superchips tune, corsa exhaust, didn't use the happy gas on that run

[D-Roll]

I agree, the govener sucks! So when you upgrade the tires, then what? I have so now how do I go faster LOL.

Back on topic anywayz.

The CVT has already shown it has a weakness at the top end. Check out the 0-120mph video on CVT after around 100 it accelerates very slowly. The 6-speed keep barreling all the way to 143mph. The CVT is limited to 130mph, sorry guys.

The tires are V rated to 148mph

Damn thats a scary thought if a Civic Si creeps up on you with a 3.5 Altima

[edit]here is the video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlWYTnaDnK0 Notice after about 90mph it gets very slow, looks like it just BARELY makes it to 120mph

Don't let this happen to you!http://videos.streetfire.net/video/96e5 ... 6f48ff.htm

do u know for a fact that the CVT is just plan a simplely weak at top end or is it a govner not letting it keep going, cause i'm sure theres something out there that can take it off with a chip. and how sure are u about the tires being V rated?

[PJPrunesti]

The govner kicks in at different speeds, it all depends on what model you have. The v4 (2.5) models kick in around 115-120mph and the v6 (3.5) models kick in around 147mpg (atleast i know this for the SE), this is all because of the tires each car comes with. The v6 tires are of higher grade because of its engine size so the tires on a v6 can take higher speeds so if you have a v4 then you need better tires otherwise you can have them reset your govner at the dealership once you have the tires to do so. Your only alternate to the dealership is buying a performance chip but i believe that they have yet to be released

Inline 4 > v4

and how sure are u about the tires being V rated?

the 3.5s tires are V rated "93V". Our tires are on the list below

215/55VR17Load Index 93 = 1433lbs (650kg) per tireSpeed Rating “V” = 149mph (240kph) 93V SL

Couldn't agree with you more...

I have a Honda CBR600, and all of my friends are squids (those young guys you see stunting/racing with nothing but T-shirts on).

After doing a few track days I never go riding with them any more... After pushing yourself in a controlled environment, the stupid risks people take on the street become very apparent.

Track days save lives!

LOL..How freakin true!!! I have an 05 Honda Repsol 1000RR that is modded to the hilt and and a 06 CBR600RR that I use on the smaller technical tracks and I hardly go out riding with my friends anymore. I save all of my aggression for the track but when I'm on public roads, I obey the law! Racing out on public roads (country or city) is just asking fro trouble IMHO but hey, you're the one who knows your limits and you have to pay for the ticket but God for bid something ever happens unexpectedly. Too much variables if you ask me unlike in a control enviroment like a race track.

Nice 162 is pretty fast I had My 02 RSX up to 145 and my 01 R6 171 and my 04 GSXR 1000 192mph indicated speeds +-3% error when dealing with digital speedos at that speed

Getting a Busa soon so I can join the 200 club

what athe fastest youve gone and in what!!!

[dangeris]

what athe fastest youve gone and in what!!!

212mph - 05 Repsol - Elmira airport runway, last leg of the toys for tots ride. My racebike and it's not stock. A lot HRC components!

I was starting to wonder, didn't realize people were talking about the CVT. I know my 6 Spd 3.5 still pulls hard in 4th at 100mph.

Sure, I want my car to be quick, but why do you need much more then 100 in a car. Now my R1 on the other hand, it'll break an indicated 105 with the wheel in the air in 1st gear... I'm no dumb *** stunta, plus I've been riding sport bikes fro 22 years; that **** is just plain fun. But I've never been totally unsafe about when and where I do it. And I know their are surprises out there, I've been hit by 3 cars; 2 rear ending and 1 changin lanes into me.

I just bought a coupe with CVT. I have no interest in racing but I'd like opinions on how well it handles high speeds. Is it steady, etc.

Hello all, Noob here.
I am not interested in pushing my vehicle beyond its limits. However, with that said, i do not believe that it is up to any corporation to regulate how I use my vehicle. Today there are so many modifications that we can perform, and tires are so much better than they once were.

Nissan spent a lot of money on developing a CVT transmission and invented more into restricting the speed of the CVT, when putting a better tire on the vehicle would have been much cheaper.

I have a more reasonable reason for the restriction-

Restricting our speed would reduce our fuel usage, reducing our necessity for fossil fuel from the Middle East.

LOL

Actually, the reduction in throttle is to help protect the fragile CVT more than anything.

I was jk about the foreign oil issue. I am still researching the CVT; I just really liked the A/S in gloss black so I bought it.
